Abstract
A signal processing appliance is disclosed that will simultaneously process the image data sets from disparate types of imaging sensors and data sets taken by them under varying conditions of viewing geometry, environmental conditions, lighting conditions, and at different times. Processing techniques that emulate how the human visual path processes and exploits data are implemented. The salient spatial, temporal, and color features of observed objects are calculated and cross-correlated over the disparate sensors and data sets to enable improved object association, classification and recognition. The appliance uses unique signal processing devices and architectures to enable near real-time processing.
Claims7
A signal processing appliance that determines the salient object content of disparate image sensors and multiple sensor data sets, associates the same object across the various data sets based on their objects salient features extracted from analysis of the spatial, temporal, and color content of objects using cognitive-inspired techniques.
